Don't Take Any Shit from the Zeitgeist

I loathe hipsters. They happen to be the coolest thing since sliced bread and I can't for the life of me work out why.
It is a look leaden with postmodern ennui, that has neither the energy and ideology of punk and grunge nor the exuberance of the avante garde. Boredom and self awareness squeezed into a skinny jean.

Wait, what's bubblegum denim? It sounds like the competitors of Osh Kosh B'Gosh (Osh Kosh B'Gunt).
